During paid leave, benefit premiums continue to be deducted from paychecks, requiring no extra management.

In contrast, for unpaid leave, employees are automatically enrolled in Direct Billing for any ongoing benefits. They will receive a bill and must pay it directly to keep their benefits active.

Hire date changes require manual review and often involve the Benefits and Payroll teams.

WFA analyzes each case for impacts like overpayments, benefit enrollments, and record conflicts. If the record contains future-dated rows, UCPath removes these rows to ensure the benefit batch processes run correctly.

  • Position rows that are removed are reinserted, as an effective date cannot be reused and reinserted by the location.
  • Job data row removals, like pay changes and extensions, are required to be re-entered by locations via PayPath/Manage Job, if still applicable.
  • A post-audit is completed to confirm accurate processing and benefit eligibility
